Worked from the cuff down to the toe, the tessellating colorwork pattern of the Aperiodic Socks is disrupted by a solid-color cuff, heel flap, and toe, as well as a striped gusset and sole. The juxtaposition of stripes and curves with a strong chromatic color choice makes these socks perfectly op-ish.

NOTES

• These socks are worked in the round from the cuff down with a heel flap.

• The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color (MC) over the pattern color (CC) and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on the wrong side of the work.
